Coilover before Rims and Tires?

I'm planning on buying a set of 16x7" Konig rims and putting 205/45-16 Bridgestone Potenza's on them, and I was just wondering if I should buy my coilover and shocks before I put the rims and new tires on, or does it not matter? Thank you ^.^

That's your call, if you have gay rims now and want some new ones before the better handling and drop, then get the Konigs first. Otherwise, drop the bitch.

Alright, thank you very much! I was just curious as to whether or not it would be detrimental to the car. I think I'm gonna buy the rims and tires first, cuz I really can't stand the factory tires. I'm used to driving my dad's mustang and these stock 14" cheap-ass dunlop tires arent cutting it

Yeah, that what I did. If you've got like a gsr teg or something and have decent stock rims, then it's alright to drop it first, but when you've got 13" steelies, you gotta get rid of them as fast as you can.

Im running on 13's also, and when I had rims for a while, they slid on bridges more than the steelies.

Sold the rims because car needs new clutch.
